Paraphilic Disorders and Other Conditions With Risk for Sexual Violence: a Case-control Study

(1d) How has sexual interest developed over time among patients with paraphilic disorders? (including the person's own description of e.g. triggers and expectations).

(e.g., average length of care, the percentage of dropouts and what kind of treatment has been given) (3) Are there any factors at baseline (e.g., presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms, age, symptom burden) that predict treatment outcome? (i.e., symptom burden based on self-assessments at follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months from the st…
